Iris worms[1] (Lumbrineridae) are a family of polychaetes in the order Eunicida.[2] Lumbrineridae live on the West Coast of the United States, the West Coast of Canada, and the Gulf of Mexico.
Distribution and Habitat
Iris worms (Lumbrineridae) are distributed worldwide[3] and are primarily found in the soft sediment of shallow intertidal waters, but sometimes live on rocky bottoms and in algal holdfasts.[4] Lumbrineris flabellicola is unusual in the way that it forms grooves and membranous tubes in various ahermatypic corals.[3]
The population biology of Lumbrineridae is unknown.[4]
Diet
A few observations suggest that iris worm diets include carnivory on various invertebrates and questionable herbivory.[5] Selective deposit feeding was described for Ninoe nigripes[6] and Lumbrineris cf. latreilli.[7]
